The S-Type debuted in 1955 as the post-war successor to the R-Type. The saloon was larger and more stylish than its predecessor but still packed all the hardwearing mechanics pioneered by the British marque. More than 3,500 models were delivered in the half-decade production run, but only 431 high-spec Continentals left the Crewe factory. All of the range toppers were bodied by external coachbuilders.
This particular S1 Continental is a bigger Flying Spur that rolled off the line in 1958. The four-door coachwork was executed by H.J. Mulliner in West London. The car was delivered to its first owner in Washington, D.C., with a Shell Gray exterior over a blue-and-gray cloth interior, as per factory records. It was also equipped with power steering and an automatic transmission.Fast-forward to the 1970s, the Bentley was snapped up by Anderson.
The Continental was then acquired by noted collector Mark Smith in 2020, three years after Anderson’s death. It was subsequently sent to Palma Auto Repair in New Jersey and treated to $10,000 worth of repairs. Today, it wears traditional green paint over black leather. It also retains the actor’s California blue plate that reads “ANDESN.” Under the hood, meanwhile, the inline six-cylinder engine can churn out about 180 horses.of the late Mark Smith alongside a haul of other classics.
